Maybe Cocoavia cocoa improved my brain speed...

Friday, October 04, 2013

Lumosity brain games are supposed to improve about 5 kinds of brain function.

I have been playing these for months now. My speed has not improved much.

The other functions measured and practiced are flexibility, memory, problem solving, attention, and maybe one more.

After an initial improvement in most of these, I have lately been on a plateau. If I am tired or distracted my scores go done quickly.

For my age, I measure all above the 90th percentile except for speed. I was not surprised. In my daily life I tend to think slowly. I always hated that. That started at 70 and increased very slowly to around 80. Today for the first time it hit 90!

One of their tips is that dark chocolate helps brain functioning. I have been having this kind of cocoa most days for about 3 weeks now but showed not much change in brain skills.

But tonight I had just had the cocoa in my yogurt. I played the Lumosity games right after that. The speed increased noticeably! We'll see if that happens again. I sure hope so!

Yum Yum Chocolate of any kind is good Have you tried Coconut Oil my DH has Alzheimers and someone suggested and it sure made a difference for awhile he is now in the final stages still give him the oil in the morning with his breakfast not sure it is helping much now but he is happy, warm and safe one day at a timeLove Prayers PeaceBernice1412 days ago

Hi Chris, I'm curious about the CocoVia product..I looked at their ads, and it seems interesting, but a bit pricey. So I'm wondering how it tastes, like in yogurt, and how bad are the calories?

I do agree doing any of these brain games...anything that makes you think~ has to be beneficial to mental health, brain function.I basically only do Crosswords Puzzles and every Suduko I come across, and just reading helps! 1412 days ago
